Text description provided by the architects. In the heart of Rome's Trastevere district, STUDIOTAMAT has breathed new life into a hidden Liberty-style gem tucked away in the courtyard of a late 19th-century building along Viale di Trastevere. Once the caretaker's house for the old train station—or a neighborhood doctor's office, depending on who you ask—this forgotten villino has been reimagined as a refined urban hideaway for two. Spread across three compact, layered floors occupying 80 square meters and culminating in a lush, green terrace, the project began by carefully preserving the home's most distinctive elements. Restoring the front veranda with its delicate cathedral glass in soft greens, pinks, and yellows called for a mix of craft and technical precision. The original rhythm and hues were respected, while the frame was rebuilt in steel and solar-control glass. By removing the old French door that once divided it from the house, the veranda now flows into the interior, extending the living space and bathing it in natural light that subtly shifts in tone throughout the day.
